European Security and Transatlantic Relations after 9/11 and the Iraq War - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

European Security and Transatlantic Relations after 9/11 and the Iraq War - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

At a time of unprecedented turmoil in the transatlantic relationship, as America asserts its right to act unilaterally to defend itself against terrorism and Europeans are increasingly aggressive in promoting a multilateralist approach to security issues, this book examines the post-9/11 and Iraqi war security environment, especially the impact on NATO and transatlantic relations as the European Union seeks to build a unified foreign and defence policy that will enable Europeans to play a fuller role in the international system.

American Culture Transformed - P. Walton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

American Culture Transformed - P. Walton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The bombing of the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11, 2001, marked a major turning point in modern American culture. Priscilla Walton and Bruce Tucker examine critical moments in the aftermath of 9/11 - the Enron scandal, the trial of Martha Stewart, the capture and rescue of Jessica Lynch, the torture at Abu Ghraib prison, the widespread popularity of Dan Brown''s The Da Vinci Code and Tim LeHaye''s "Left Behind" series, Michael Moore''s movie Fahrenheit 9/11, and former president Ronald Reagan''s funeral. The authors argue that commentators on the American scene abandoned complexity, seeking to reduce events to their simplest signification. They ask how the singularity of meaning came to dominate American cultural consciousness, and they seek to theorize the critical cultural and political movements of the post 9/11 period.

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The United States lost one third of its factory jobs in the past decade as jobs were outsourced offshore, mostly to Asia. Jobs that require a college degree are next to go. China will award six times as many degrees this year as they did ten years ago and any job that can be digitized will be ''tradable''. Estimates of the number of vulnerable jobs range from a low 11 million to a staggering 56 million ''middle class'' jobs. The median United States household income has already dropped by seven percent since 2000 and without dramatic changes in the American workforce that trend will become a disaster for middle class Americans.

Early Modern Tragedy and the Cinema of Violence - S. Simkin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Early Modern Tragedy and the Cinema of Violence - S. Simkin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This study considers parallel issues in revenge tragedies of the early seventeenth-century and violent cinema of the last thirty years. It offers a series of provocative explorations of death, revenge and justice, and gender and violence. What happens when we connect The White Devil with Basic Instinct ? The Changeling or Titus Andronicus with Straw Dogs ? Doctor Faustus with Se7en ? Taxi Driver with The Spanish Tragedy ? Appealing to those with an interest in either drama or film, written in an engaging style, the book also reconsiders the high /popular culture divide, and reflects on the enduring significance of the revenge motif in Western culture over the past four hundred years, particularly in the post 9/11 context.

Asia-Pacific Economic and Security Co-operation - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Asia-Pacific Economic and Security Co-operation - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This collection examines new developments in economic and security co-operation in the Asia-Pacific in relation to two recent ''shock'' events that have significantly impacted upon the region, these being the 1997/98 East Asian financial crisis and the September 11 attacks on the United States. These are examined through three ''prime dimensions'' of analysis, namely: the tension between the ''post-shock'' forces of ''imperative co-operation'' and the counter-forces of Asia-Pacific ''complex diversity''; the growing conflation between economic and security issues - or the ''economics-security nexus'' - in Asia-Pacific international relations; the relationship between the Asia-Pacific''s new economic and security bilateralism and regional-level forms of co-operation, integration and governance.

Directing for Stage and Screen - J. Stanley - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Directing for Stage and Screen - J. Stanley - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The book challenges the idea that processes of globalization are leading to an increasing homogenization of news on a worldwide scale by focusing on two defining crises of our time-9/11 and the War in Afghanistan. The empirical analysis combines process-tracing, as well as both quantitative and qualitative content analysis of governmental discourses and news coverage of eight elite newspapers across the US, France, Italy and Pakistan. It develops a new multidisciplinary framework to explain news that brings together previously distinct levels of analysis: the micro level of the individual decisions made by journalists, the organizational environment of the news organization, national social and political contexts, the macro level of international relations. The book is going to be of interest primarily to academics and researchers, postgraduate students across communications, media studies, journalism, politics and international relations, as well as journalists, media practitioners and officials involved in public communication.
